Since I first wrote about the English Rose-style metal kitchen cabinets made by John Lewis of Hungerford in the wee early days of the blog — 2008, there has been an explosion of interest in midcentury interior design. And, online marketing has improved greatly, too. After yesterday’s story about Ondrea and James’ new kitchen using vintage English Rose cabinets, I went back to check for any updates to the John Lewis of Hungerford page and indeed, found several gorgeous new examples. Their PR team gave me permission to grab them for the blog, so here’s a look at some recent projects by the company. It’s interesting to see some of the contemporary design elements used — while at the same time, it’s undeniable that the underlying retro English Rose vibe is calling the shots.
Digging into the website, I see these were introduced in 2005. While they have the look of vintage English Roses, I count them as an all-new brand since they were “inspired by” and are not marketed as reproductions per se.
These beauties are not likely to come inexpensively. From the website, it sounds like they are made-to-order.
